(Signed) F. HARRINGTON, NJ. p,

PRESIDENT FIrzGERALD's ADDRESS
to the officers and members of the Citi-
zen's National league of America is as
follows; THE present position of af-
fairs in Ireland command the earnest con
sideration and renewed energy upon our

siyeness of the lahdlordism comprising
new plumber and the DISCRIMINATING of the
Irish people, have forced the al ternative
of ruin or resistance such as il is within
their power to offer, there can be no
doubt that the present plan of campaign
affords the best practical means so far
discovered of rendering effective the de-
termination of the Irish people TO
protect themselves in the pos
session Of their homes. II there
fore becomes my duty to thus
direct your attention to the new crisis
which has arisen in Ireland, and in doing
this feel that | have done all that is
necessary 10 urge you TO renewed zeal and
energy in the labor of love which you
have undertaken. / am glad to be able
to announce to you that the
affairs of the Irish National
league OF America are in most satisfac-
tory and lourishing condition and the
organization itself has never been more
healthy, vigorous and hopeful than at
the present time. The address speaks of
what it has already accomplished and
compliments the efforts of Treasurer
O'Reilly and Secretary Sutton and closes
with aN appeal to the members of the
league TO take new courage and proceed
with new zeal to the task still before
them.
